Denim for Days
Topshop Blazer and Blouse, J Brand Low Rise Leggings, Martin + Osa Necklace, Vintage Bracelet, Gifted Chan Luu Bracelet, Alaia Platforms
I’ve never been a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. It’s not that I’m always dressed up (because I’m certainly not), but I prefer breezy dresses to constricting, stiff denim. When the legging/jeans hybrid appeared on the scene last year, I was skeptical that they could be comfortable and simultaneously flattering. Turns out, some of them are. Revolve sent over these J Brand Low Rise Leggings last week and I’ve barely changed out of them since. They’re tight in all the right places (at the ankles) and have the right amount of give where you need it most (upper thighs) and I love that I can just easily wear them with dangerously tall heels as I can with ballet flats.

Such a beautiful outfit.. I’ve been contemplating leggings that are denim for some time. Thanks for the review!

Great post.. Love this outfit!!

Your “jeggings” seem like a great find! I haven’t invested in a pair, but I’m thinking about it…
Your shoes are sweet too.

I wasn’t sure about jeggings at first either, but when they’re done right like these they’re the perfect combination!
I love this outfit… Thanks for the review on the jeans. I’ve been contemplating them for some time!

This is a really great look.. Thanks for the review on the jeans. I think I’m finally going to get a pair!!

I just tried on a pair of denim leggings today at Macy’s. I wasn’t too impressed by their selection, though, so maybe I should try those J Brands!
Thanks for sharing!
Love the fit of the leggings : )
Denim leggings are amazing. I just bought a j brand pair, and could not be happier. The term “flattering && comfortable pants” is no longer an oxymoron, but a standard.

these look fabulous! i love j brand!
all the money i have waisted on cheap jeggings that go baggy in the crotch and generally don’t look good after the first wear, could have bought me a pair of these!

beautiful!!

I love jeggings! What I love even more are those shoes! Who are they, pray tell?
Well, you look gorgeous!
I love your beautiful style! And those shoes…OH MY GOODNESS! Love them!
J Brand anything is worth the investment! I’ve been a fan of the company since they first appeared on the scene so I was thrilled with this post!!
http://www.sarabbentley.blogspot.com
Love the jeans and the shoes are amazing!
You look really great in this chic style! I have never liked denim myself and prefer easy and comfortable dressing. Thanks for sharing such a great dressing idea
i am loving this pants on you. am not a jeans girl too. Well not those typical cuts. Cos i need a lot of distraction from my short legs.
I am Denise Katipunera
i love your shoes
kisses
I actually seem to only wear Jeggings now, I never could find Jeans that really fit me well, but I wasn’t really into Leggings either, so I think Jeggings are a great idea! Like the look of yours! I think I’ll give them a try!
I absolutely love how took took a feminine piece and added instant egde by adding the shoes and blazer. Gorgeous darling!
I need those shoes! They are fantastic.
I love those!
dangerous is the right word for these shoes
love this outfit, and thinking of getting me a pair of jeggings now as well
Oh my god, love those. Need to get them!!
Sadie at heyMamas
i’m loving the super stretch jeans (for some reason i just can’t call them jeggings!) and i just may never go back to regular ones!
they work so so well. I adore this outfit and your shoes are killlling me! so jealous

Love this oufit, perfect for the Spring/Summer transition period. Your shoes are wonderful!

I am a big fan of the jeggings! I love them, they are super comfortable and I can’t get enough of them. I have a pair from James Jeans and another from Paige Denim and I love them both!
I’ve been himming and hawwing over those jeans for awhile! They are suuuuuuuper comfortable. Looks good on you!
Love this look on you! The shoes are to die for. The floaty blouse underneath is the perfect complement to the edgy black.
I loooove my denim leggings! I’ve got ones like yours that look just like real jeans unless you lift up your shirt to show the elastic waist :p
I LOVE the shoes, Alaia, no?
You paired those jeans so well! I love the white girly top you wore with it and I am totally obsessing about blazers right now, I basically live in my black one! The pants fit you perfect and look amazing on you!
xox
Bikinis & Passports
When they’re mixed with other elements in the right way, these are totally wearable and flattering. You know how to rock ‘em!

I tried on a pair. Worst experience of my life.
I have a pair of legacy jeans from Rich&Skinny. I wear them every other day. LOVE.
I love your top so much and your shoes…..WOW!!! Jeans legging are not always nice but you can’t go wrong with J Brand!!!
http://spottedbym.blogspot.com/
Those shoes are fierce! I love them!
I am not a jeggings kind of girl…
http://deconstructed-life.blogspot.com
awesome shoes.
Also try IT brand denim in their black jeggings…amazing!
Those look very nice.
Jeggings are a-may-zing! Just blogged about them last week-they are such a treat to wear!
http://asequindressatbreakfast.wordpress.com
Love this look, jeggings they are very comfortable, I love them and were them all the time.

i’m definitely a jeans and tshirt kind of girl so i need to try these.

They look utterly perfect. I’ve been wondering if I should trade in my crap-ass Target jeggings for a better pair …
I have been skeptical about “jeggings” but those look really high quality and I love how you rock them with sky high shoes!
This outfit is SO CUTE! Love it!
I adore the shoes…. this look is quite perfect!

I love both! Dresses and jeans!
I was a bit skeptical with jeggings (*puke* at the name) at first but they turned out to be one of the best inventions ever. I love how edgy yet feminine this outfit is. i’m lusting over your shoes, the cut-outs are just AHHHHMAZING

I wear jeans once a week – honestly – and dresses the other 6 days. I should give these leggings a try. There are always tons at F21.
Love that outfit….great style!

OK, this is one of your best looks ever. That top photo is AMAZING.
Those shoes are killer!! Love the whole outfit
These shoes are killers!

I almost got these the other day! I actually ended up with a pair of Citizens Avedon Slick Skinny which is not a legging hybrid but really feels like one. I love that they are coming up with jeans that fit like skin and are super comfy!

I love jeggings.

Such a great outfit… love that white flowy top paired with the skinny jeans and blazer. And of course, those shoes… love those shoes!

This is an effortless look, and I love it
Love ‘em. I actually wore mine so much they developed holes in all the wrong places and had to be retired.
I love the shoes!

I just bought a pair of jeggings recently too, from H&M! I was torn on this trend too, at first I thought they were kinda stupid and would only last like a week, but I couldn’t get them outta my head and took the plunge! I love them now – I think they are a little more polished looking than just regular leggings and you can wear them many different ways!
Oh those Alaia shoes get me every time! Love them! And I MUST have that blouse! I didn’t see it online – did you get it in the shop whilst in NYC?
Love the blazer and blouse. The jeggings don’t even looks like leggings from a distance.
Xo , http://thefrugalistadiaries.blogspot.com/
I agree. Those shoes are incredible and I drool every time I see them here. I’m with you on the jeggings–once you find the right pair, they’re life changing.
You look lovely in these photos!
awesome leggings and shoes! great post! I personally am a jeans and tshirt girl and this is a perfect way to mix it up!

oh my gosh. i have never really realized it until now, but you really HAVEN’T ever made a post with jeans…at least since I’ve been following you. crazy! but the “jeggings” look really great. thanks for the outfit idea. i was thinking about getting a pair myself.

I have been looking at denim leggings for a long time. I guess I should just make the plunge. And I love your gorgeous shoes.
Trishna
Those jeggings look awesome on you! Great to hear that their also comfortable. I need to get a pair soon. I practically live in my boyfriend jeans when I want to be comfortable and I need to mix it up a bit. Have a great day!
Beautiful! And the Alaia Platforms…I’m in love with them.
XO Piper
LOVE this entire look but the shoes…TO DIE FOR!!!
Also kind of love how they make your legs look extra long! I think I could use a pair of these for my minis. Do you know I have the same length legs as my friend who is three inches shorter? My lot in life is to constantly have all pants taken up at the bottom.
LOVE this!
i love jeggings!! i recently bought a pair from urban outfitters!! and they are comfy
i recently did a blog post on them..check it out!!

Love them! I have a pair of Joe’s coming from Anthro and I can’t wait!
Have you tried the new J Brand Cargo’s? I’d love to see you style those up. These shoes are so fierce, work it girl!
LOVE these. So practical — and pretty as well!

I, too, prefer flowing, breezy skirts and dresses to jeans, however, the jeans pictured here looks so good on you.
The footwear is so glamorous and edgy too!
Lady; your legs work a mile long. Perfection.

Fabulous! You always inspire such great wardrobe pieces. I loved this idea… I love wearing skirts & dresses, but jeans simply don’t make me feel so secure of myself. hehe
I heart jeggings – although I wish they were called leans instead…
Love the whole outfit leggings

This is one of my favorite outfits of yours! Simple, yet so not boring!
SO cute. i need a pair of those jeggings.. cus i hate jeans!
I love denim leggings. They are awesome with ankle boots. I invested in 3 pairs from forever 21 (black, gray, & dark blue) a couple of months ago for only $12.90/each!
Very cute ensemble Emily! I adore those shoes too! I’m actually wearing my black blazer today too!

hi, do you like the J BRANDs or the CITIZENS you had reviewed in an earlier post?
They look great on you! I’m still not brave enough…
Digging the black blazer with the flowy white top! The leggings really flatter you. And I like how you let your hair be natural.
absolutely love the shoes, well, the whole outfit actually. really cute.
You look amazing and comfortable! The perfect outfit! And I’m absolutely in love with your shoes!

super pretty. LOVE jeggings
Seriously lusting over your ALais I wish I could find them some where
http://barelyvogue.blogspot.com/
I have been living in a similar pair, William Rast Sienna jeggings, for a month. Normally I wouldn’t consider jeggings, but they’ve been a lifesaver as I’m 4 months pregnant. I also recently discovered Jolt jeans, they are only 40-50 bucks, I pick them up at the BP section of Nordstrom. I’m trying to avoid any more designer denim
you look beautiful!
love the whole outfit(: specially the shoes.

Holy shit they look great on you! I’m definitely now contemplating purchasing a pair, especially with my sudden yucky weight gain. But thanks for recommending these really, going to check ‘em out!
I love this outfit the dress is really cool and breezy ^^
I’ve never really been able to wear skinny jeans… i dont have the legs! but these are really pretty! i love the blazer too.. really adds something.

i love the combination of light and dark, soft and edgy with that blouse and the jeans. happy almost weekend!
ah the infamous jegging…..I blogged about these a few weeks ago….jury is still out for me….but they look fab on you. I think the key is a long shirt.

jbrand has been putting out good skinnies for years (i happen to be a serious jeans and vintage t shirt kinda gal). i’ve had some of my jbrands forever and i still wear them regularly!
you look super cute in yours;)

Gah Alaia is so good with the elaborate cutouts. I haven’t tried the leggings + jeans thing yet but I’m kinda tempted…
J BRAND MAKES THE BEST JEANS EVVVVER!
lovely shoes and picture background! so classy and cute
i was skeptical of the jean legging trend at first too…
one day i was at anthropologie looking for some new tops. since i was wearing a dress, i grabbed the first pair of pants i saw on the way to the dressing room. i just so happened to grab the j brand denim leggings, and i have been smitten ever since. from the day i bought them in november, i have not been able to stay out of them!
I love this outfit, those shoes are AMAZING!

Alright, the leggings are darn cute, but the heels steal the show! Amazing!

love this outfit a lot, a lot, a lot! i hate the whole jean-leggings trend, but these look more like skinnies than “jeggings,” to me. also, i may need to hunt down that top.
You’ve pulled it together perfectly!
I have those jbrands in black and I love every minute of them!! I highly recommend!!
Those shoes are so gorgeous!! love.

LOVE those shoes!
Those look like real jeans. Can you wear them with simple shirts, too?
love this. and i’d hate those shoes on anyone else, but you pull them off so well, of course. xo
p.s. i have also always found denim restricting (and as a dancer especially, i hate feeling stiff with my legs) but i’m loving the legging denim out right now too. usually always living in skirts and dresses like you noted but as of lately, i’m in legging jeans all the time. amazing, right?
xo
Those Alaias are killer!
I am loving (and living in) denim leggings these days. BDG makes a great pair for a decent price. The super-slim cut makes it easy to slip on a pair of tall boots (i.e., no bunching!), which I love.

Lucky you, Revolve have such awesome things in at the moment. I’m personally the same, always felt underdressed wearing jeans and could never find a pair that fit me properly! But when “jeggings” arrived on the scene, I immediately bought a pair and wore them with everything because they fit so well
Ah… those shoes…. TDF

Thank you for adding in the Alaia platforms reference! Soooo gorgeous!
Love how you’ve mixed a feminine top with denim and rocker platforms. Totally fab look. We’re all about mixing things up in unexpected ways. It’s so much more fun, isn’t it?
For example, we mixed the trendy cargo pants with menswear pieces, lady-like pearls and denim for this Spring.
